Dec. 28th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 8oz

Honeybush Pumpkin Chai from Adagio Teas

Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 10min, 2tsp, 12oz
Aroma: This smells quite similar to the pumpkin spice black tea that I had yesterday. Very spicy notes of cinnamon. 8/10
Flavor: This is not quite as bold as the nose but there is plenty of spices jumping around the palate. Chai spices tend to be too much for Rooibos but this honeyb...
Irish Breakfast from Adagio Teas
Style: Irish Breakfast – Region: Blend78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 8oz, sample packet, 212F, 5min
This is my first Irish breakfast tea (at least by the specific tea). This was a free sample in my most recent adagio box.
Aroma: I’ve had a few black teas from Adagio that were quite aggressive in their aromas. This is much more subtle; however, it’s very inviting. Remi...

Prep: 212F, 5min, 1.5tsp, 12oz

Value: Another of the 30 ...
Candy Apple Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend56 / 100 Aroma: 5/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 3/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
Aroma: The aroma of the dry tea had a lot more going on that the liquid. In the mug, I’m really only getting pure black tea (which is fine but this is designed as a flavored tea). 6/10
Flavor: This isn’t what I’d call overly flavorful. That said, there is a nice black tea ba...
Masala Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: Sri Lanka / Ceylon86 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 5/5
Dec. 26th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 10min (per tea), sample bag, 8oz
Aroma: Very traditional cinnamon and spice aromas jump out of the mug here. I’m expecting this to be quite spicy. 9/10
Flavor: Fairly good pop of cinnamon and clove notes. This doesn’t overwhelm your palate with spice but it bring back memories of chai spiced la...
Pumpkin Spice Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
It’s Christmas and all of my gifts this year were tea. I’ve had quite a day of sampling some new blends. I’m probably well over the caffeine limit but let’s keep the train rolling.
One of my gifts was a holiday adagio set with six 1oz tins. Most of the blends sounded tasty ...
Maple Creme Oolong from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Oolong – Region: ?????70 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
Note: Adagio is really generous. They give you points and free tea for eating their tea or sharing their company on social. This particular tea was a free sample which is always a joy to receive.
Aroma: The aroma on this one really comes into focus as it cool. Definitely shows a brow...
Buddha’s Dream from Adagio Teas
Style: Miscellaneous Blend – Region: ?????72 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 25th, 2020
I’m a big fan of white tea and generally haven’t had a lot of success with green tea. I keep trying to evolve my palate and this tea is a step in that direction.
Prep: 175F, 16oz, 2 heaping tsp, 3 minutes
Aroma: Very delicate nose with mild peach. This has that relax in the couch with a movie tea type feel. 7...
White Ayurvedic Chai from Adagio Teas
Style: White Tea – Region: Blend76 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2020
Prep: 205F, 5min, 4tsp for 16oz (as per instructions but lowered 212 to 205).
When Teavana made this variety, it was one of the first teas that I truly loved. This is meant to be a replacement for their discontinued line, I think.
Aroma: The nose really shows off the spice of the tea with some pungent cinnamon....
White Peach from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit White Tea – Region: Fujian, China78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 24th, 2020
Prep: 175F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp, 16oz
Aroma: This took a little bit of time to come to the forefront. After the tea cook a few degrees, you get a nice blend of floral notes and light peach. Very pleasant. 7/10
Taste: Very nice. Mild peach on a delicate white backdrop. Really mellow and enjoyable. 8/10
Body: ...
Citron Green from Adagio Teas
Style: Fruit Green Tea – Region: China65 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2020
Prep: 8oz, 175F, 2.5 min
Aroma: The name is spot on. Really does have a Citronella note balanced by the earthiness of the green tea. 6/10
Flavor: This is pleasant. I mostly taste earth green tea but the aroma of the lemon and lime does add something. Probably not my go to blend but it’s solid. 6/10
Body: Pret...
Gingerbread Tea from Adagio Teas
Style: Flavored Black Tea – Region: Blend64 / 100 Aroma: 6/10 Flavor: 3/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 23rd, 2020
Prep: 212F,5min, 2tsp, 16oz water
Aroma: Really getting the black tea malty notes but not a ton of anything else. 6/10
Flavor: This comes across primarily as a creamy black tea. I’m not sure if maybe I just need to shake the tin a bit. It’s a good black tea though! 6/10
Body: Fairly full bodied tea. 7/1...
Coconut from Adagio Teas
Style: Ceylon Black Tea – Region: ?????78 / 100 Aroma: 7/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2tsp, 16oz
Aroma: Smelling the dry tea, there is a fairly substantial coconut flesh aroma that thankfully stays away from the artificial sun tan lotion notes that can often plague many coconut products. In the mug, the rich malty notes from the black tea are dominant with a mild creamy coconut not...
Chocolate Chai Pu Erh from Adagio Teas
Style: Chai / Spiced Tea – Region: ?????82 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 22nd, 2020
Prep: 212F, 5min, 2 heaping tsp for 16oz.
Aroma: I often am critical of chai teas because they are too balanced. Typically, I want the spice when I go for chai. This blend delivers. Quite spicy, plenty of chocolate in the nose. 9/10
Flavor: There is not a disparity between the aroma and flavor which is nice. Ve...
Honeybush Banana Nut from Adagio Teas
Style: Honeybush – Region: ?????86 / 100 Aroma: 10/10 Flavor: 5/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2020
Prep: 2 tsp, 16oz, 212F, 5min
The aroma of this dry tea is mind blowing. I honestly believe this could be a dehydrated banana nut muffin in a bag.
Aroma:after brewing, this still very much smells like a banana nut muffin. It’s crazy how well it hits all those notes. 10/10
Taste: There is a bit of a honey...
Candy Cane from Adagio Teas
Style: Black Tea – Region: ?????80 / 100 Aroma: 9/10 Flavor: 4/5 Value: 4/5
Dec. 21st, 2020
Prep: 212F, 3 min, 16oz, 2tsp
Appearance: deep red with some oil residue on top of the tea (from the candy cane, I’d guess)
Aroma: This smells incredible. So much peppermint. Of even go as far as to say that it’s the specific peppermint that I’d associate with a candy cane. Incredibly well done.
Taste:...

Dec. 21st, 2020
Prep: 175F, 3 minutes, 2 heaping teaspoons in 16oz
Appearance: Transparent pink, quite bright.
Aroma: There is a mild mix of strawberry and raspberry. I keep searching for the basil notes but I can’t find them.
Flavor: The white tea base is very mild and allows a delicate strawberry flavor to take the stage...
